Abstract
Devices and techniques for pipeline merging in a circuit are described herein. A parallel pipeline result can be obtained for a transaction index of a parallel pipeline. Here, the parallel pipeline is one of several parallel pipelines that share transaction indices. An element in a vector can be marked. The element corresponds to the transaction index. The vector is one of several vectors respectively assigned to the several parallel pipelines. Further each element in the several vectors corresponds to a possible transaction index with respective elements between vectors corresponding to the same transaction index. Elements between the several vectors that correspond to the same transaction index can be compared to determine when a transaction is complete. In response to the transaction being complete, the result can be released to an output buffer in response to the transaction being complete.
